I think you have a studebaker deuce.dilvoy said:Recovery 4x4, I have a shop van on a deuce but it's data plate does not say M109. It had another model number. I think it is a 1965 vehicle and it has a non turbo multi fuel with the sprag t case. I never noticed any skids on the van body, but I'll be sure to check it the next time I'm up there. Be sure to have anything inside nailed and screwed down very well. That body will be tipped at an extreme angle while winching up. I have a military 6,000 lb rough terrain forklift and it can easily lift 10,000lbs. I have a deuce that I'm installing a five ton 14' drop side bed on and the plan is to use the forklift to lift the van body up and drive the truck under it for loading and vise versa for unloading. I think I'll be a little over 8' with the sides lowered but not by much. With the two extra feet and the opened tailgate I should have a nice porch out back. Just another one of my hair braned ideas.
